No. While we all like to hate on YAML files it was one of the key enablers that allowed Kubernetes to treat infrastructure as data. We’ve only started reaping the benefits of this.https://twitter.com/ngrilly/status/1172222648274866176 …

I liked your analogy of YAML as machine code. It does a job, but it’s probably not the abstraction most developers should really need to deal with
I view it more as an intermediate representation. In addition to client-side transformations, defaults, mutating admission control, and asynchronous controllers also transform the desired state.
